    Default New Server install question (cpanel Godaddy)

    Using Zencart V139h.

    Well I am in a pickle. I just had to move my site from the old servers on Godaddy (yes, I know some people hate them and I am starting to after all of the garbage I have had to deal with over the last week) to the new cpanel servers. I followed the instruction in this link; http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?142, and got the site up. I also ran the Fix_cache_key with no problems, and it said nothing needed to done.

    Now for the fun part, I was walking through the site to make sure that I didn't have any issues with placing an order, and when I go to checkout or login to my account it is giving me a 404 error "file not found." Also, I am getting the same error when I go to login to my admin account.

    To answer a couple of questions you may have:
    - Yes, the DB prefix is the same
    - Yes, the configure files are from the fresh install

    One thing I am a little confused about, Godaddy is showing the backup database, from my old site, to be 4.7MB and the new one to only be .77MB even though it is a direct copy.

    I am lost, and could really use some help.
    Thanks

    The page(s) on which you appear to be having difficulty are typically encrypted via https. What has been done to implement/restore/carry over secure page information to your new location? This issue can further be confirmed through two things, one try going to your store's site by using https://yourstoresdomain, and two when that doesn't work, check the settings in the includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php files to see if https is used for secure pages...

    Beyond that, I believe you would need to speak with your host about restoring that capability otherwise, revising https to http in those two files would prevent the 404s...
